Answer 1

ANSWER :  

Indian constitution establishes a federal system of government in India. Indian Constitution was enforced on 26 January 1950. Now need is felt to revise the federal system. Following suggestions are given to amend the federal system :  

(a) DIVISION OF POWERS :  

At present there are 3 lists of powers in the union - (1) Union list, (2) State list, (3) Concurrent list. Instead of three lists there should be to lists -  (1) Union list, (2) State list. all subject included in the union list should be exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Parliament. Those subjects in the State list should be exclusively with the States. Residuary powers should be under the jurisdiction of the Union Parliament. In normal times, Union Parliament should have no power to make laws on the State list.

(b)DISTRIBUTION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES :  

It is an accepted principle of the Federation that both the Union and State government must have enough sources of revenue to carry out their legislative and administrative business. in India the financial power has also been distributed between the centre and the states. There should be a clear-cut demarcation of financial resources between the Centre and the States.

(i) Some taxes should be levied by the Central government and should also be collected by it. Revenue from these taxes should be exclusively with the centre.

(ii) Some taxes should be levied by the state government and should also be collected by it.

(iii) Some taxes should be levied and collected by the Centre but income should be distributed between the Centre and the States.

(iv) The resources of the state should be sufficient. The state should not depend upon the Centre for grant in aid.

(v) The union government may grant loan to the state but in accordance with the provisions of the act passed by the Parliament.

(c)METHODS OF RESOLVING THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE STATES :  

All interstate disputes should be decided by the Supreme Court. The decision of the Supreme Court should be binding on the States.

(d) APPOINTMENT OF THE GOVERNORS :  

The Governors should be appointed by the President. but the president must consult a Chief Minister of that state where Governor is to be appointed. The Governor of a state should be appointed with the concurrence of the Chief Minister.
